Various experiments of IFC as a database
See the docs for a more in-depth exploration of how the EdgeDB schema currently is being used.
The following pattern for EdgeDB allows you to roundtrip your IFC file
import pathlib
from ifcdb import EdgeIO
ifc_path = pathlib.Path("files/tessellated-item.ifc")
with EdgeIO(db_schema_dir="db/dbschema", database_name="testdb") as io:
io.create_schema_from_ifc_file(ifc_path=ifc_path)
io.setup_database(delete_existing_migrations=True)
io.insert_ifc(ifc_path)
# Do all kinds of query experiments here
# When you are done just read the entire EdgeDB IFC content into an IFC file str using ifcopenshell like this
res = io.to_ifc_file(f"temp/{ifc_path.stem}-roundtripped.ifc")This repo was created as a result from a discussion here -> IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell#2025.
Here are some relevant resources I came across when I was searching online
